The 20th Electromagnetic and Light Scattering
Conference (ELS-2023) JQSRT Topical Issue This
is a kindly reminder that the 20th Electromagnetic and Light
Scattering Conference (ELS-2023) JQSRT Topical Issue is open for submissions. Manuscript
submission information: Submission Deadline: 1-Mar-2024. The special issue
manuscripts will be available online once it is accepted in its
collections. We do not have to wait until all SI manuscripts are accepted
for publication. The submission website for this journal is located
at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/JQSRT/default.asp To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly
identified for inclusion into the special issue you are editing, it is
important that authors select VSI: ELS-2023 when
you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.
Topics: - New theoretical developments, numerical simulations, and
laboratory measurements of light scattering by nonspherical
and morphologically complex particles and particle groups - Detection and characterization of atmospheric particulates
using laboratory, in situ, and remote sensing techniques - Scattering of light by terrestrial aerosols and clouds,
oceanic particulates, solar system objects, exoplanets, stellar disks, and
various astrophysical objects - Applications of light scattering methods in biology and
biomedicine - Near-field and coherent effects in light scattering, optical
trapping, and manipulation - Light scattering methods to control material properties and
technological applications. If you have a manuscript, which fits the conference scope,
either accepted or under review in JQSRT, you can support the conference and
the community by asking editors to transfer you
submission to the named Special Issue. Best regards, ELS-XX Topical Issue
editors The 14th meeting on Cosmic Dust: first circular VENUE: Higashiyama Campus, Nagoya University Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8602, JAPAN DATE: Monday, August 5 - Friday, August 9, 2024 OBJECTIVES: This series of Cosmic Dust meetings aims at
finding a consensus among experts on the formation and evolution of cosmic
dust: where it comes from and where it goes. The meeting is organized by dust
freaks who are very enthusiastic not only to make the goal achievable but
also to establish a dust community across every scientifically relevant
discipline for the development of cosmic dust research. For this reason, the
primary objective of the meeting is to bring together professionals who deal
with cosmic dust as well as provide an opportunity for participants to
develop interpersonal relationships and scientific interactions among
themselves. SCOPE: All kinds of cosmic dust such as - intergalactic dust - circumnuclear dust - interstellar dust - protoplanetary disk dust - debris disk dust - cometary dust - interplanetary dust - circumplanetary dust - stellar nebular condensates - presolar grains - micrometeorites - meteoroids - meteors - regolith particles - planetary aerosols are the subject of discussion. The meeting is open for any
aspects of dust research by means of different methods of studies (in-situ
and laboratory measurements, astronomical observations, laboratory and
numerical simulations, theoretical modeling, data analyses, etc.). Also
welcome are papers on dust-related topics, for example: - the formation of molecules and their reactions on and their
desorption from the surface of a solid substance - light scattering by non-spherical particles and particulate
surfaces - space missions and instrumentation for measurements of
particulates MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE: The total number of participants is
limited to 50, inclusive of invited speakers and members of the meeting
organizing committees. ADMISSIONS APPLICATION: The Cosmic Dust meeting strictly
forbids a walk-in attendee. To attend the meeting, please complete admissions application at the CPS website online. The
application form is currently in preparation, but it will be ready prior to
the distribution of the second circular. The deadline for the application is
May 10, 2024, 11:59 p.m. Japan Standard Time (UTC+09:00) and a late
application will not be accepted. On account of the
limitation on the number of participants, the online application does not
guarantee admission to the meeting. Participants will be determined at the
discretion of the SOC and all applicants will be notified of the admissions
decision by May 31, 2024. Priority will be given to those who are highly
motivated to meet in person and retain discussion throughout the meeting. For
further details, please visit the Cosmic Dust website: https://www.cps-jp.org/~dust/Application.html
REGISTRATION FEE: While no payment is required at the time of
admissions application and abstract submission, a registration fee will be
charged to those whose admittances are guaranteed. The fee is TBD, but it
will fall around US$100. No matter what circumstances are specified, the
registration fee will not be waived. The payment of the registration fee
permits free admission to all scientific sessions, daily coffee breaks, a banquet, and an excursion. NOTES ON THE VENUE: Nagoya is a center of the Chukyo
Industrial Zone and one of the three major megacities in Japan, located
between the largest megacity Tokyo and the second largest megacity Osaka. The
city is also known as a home of the Japan's national sport `sumo'. The Nagoya
Basho Grand Sumo Tournament is annually held at Dolphins Arena, next to
Nagoya Castle, and the 2024 Grand Tournament is scheduled for the period of
July 14-28, prior to the next Cosmic Dust meeting. For more information on
Nagoya, please visit the official website of Nagoya Convention & Visitors
Bureau: https://www.nagoya-info.jp/en/

session called Cosmic Dust of the 3rd AOGS (Asia-Oceania Geoscience
Society) annual meeting in Singapore. Dust freaks have kept on organizing the
session at subsequent AOGS meetings in Korea (2008), India (2010), and Taiwan
(2011). The Cosmic Dust series has been recognized as the most successful
session of the AOGS Planetary Sciences Section. In 2012, the time was ripe to
be free from organizing restrictions on the AOGS meeting. From that time on,
the Cosmic Dust meeting is totally independent of
any international conferences and professional associations. The past
meetings on Cosmic Dust have been held in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. So
will be the coming one!
